Dharmaj Crop Guard Limited announced that the Hon’ble High Court of Himachal Pradesh dismissed an application by SML Limited seeking an interim injunction against the company and another defendant in a patent infringement suit concerning its agrochemical product, ZeekaSulf™, on October 15, 2026. The court found that the application did not prima facie establish territorial jurisdiction in Himachal Pradesh or sufficient evidence of product supply within the state; however, the order pertains only to the interim relief request and does not constitute a final adjudication on the merits of the alleged patent infringement, with the main suit remaining pending.
